Woman q Poor SDeculatOr.

Wall street is considerably interest
ed in the suit brought against Russell
Sage by a woman who claims to be an
al fist, and who asserts that Mr.. Sage
has had q little the best of her in sonee
stock operations. The testimony
showed that Mr.. Sage had the best Of
the case in all respects. Letters were
produced revealing that the woman
had been begging him for al sorts Of
accommodations and favors and had
finally induced him to make some III
vestments on light margins Just about
the time that the. squall struck Wall
street. OF course she suffered just As
Blr. Sage and every body else who held
any stock suffered, butshedid not take
her i'll luck with good nature and
brought a suit to recover her losses,
putting them at several thousand dol
lars. Il has been q lesson to Mr.. Sage.
He remarked recently that he had
done with attempting to do any fayors
for women, he never would have any
more dealing in the stock line with
them. He showed in court that 10
had dealt fairly with the plaintiff and
that she had no one to blame for her.
I'll luck but herself and the ups and
downs OF Wall street. .ss.3

Captured by a Penniless Girl.

Some years ago Miss Anna Long
streth was a beautiful, penniless girl,
and worked in the Philadelphia Mint.
One day, a party OF sight-seers came
through and stopped to mop their
brows, for it was July, in the adjust
ing-room. This department Of the
place is, in the warm months, simply
"Black Hole OF Calcutta on small
scale, and the poor women and girls;
who toll there sometimes till late at
night, fall down and faint, and are
dragged out to revive by the dozen.
In the party that stopped near Miss
IAongstreth were Lord Bement, who
owned, and still owns, extensive land
ed interests in the West, and his COM
panion, Captain Jasper Richardson,
R. NJ, a gallant young blade with an
income OF seventy-fve thousand
dollars q year. The young
Englishmen were seeing the
country, and had intended to edo" it
from Niagara to the Yosemite. But
captain Richardson fell so desperately
in love with Miss Longstreth, so COM
passionated her condition in the ter
rlble heat of the room from which, dur
ing most OF the working hours, all air
and draught were necessarily
excluded, that he concluded to
marry her out of hand if she
would have him. And his friend, Lord
Bement, did his best to help him.
They succeeded in persuading Miss
Longstreth's parents, who had been
rich and then were very poor, Of the
genuineness of Captain Richardson's
affection, and the wedding took place.
Her life in London has not thrown
Mrs. Richardson much with other fair
Americans. She has become one of
her husbands family, and met with
much favor at court. She is described
as perfect beauty, brunette, tall,
voluptuous, with a great coil Of black
hair on her neck, and her bosom as
open as court rules prescribe even in
London.-San Francisco Argonaut.

A Woman's Bill of Particulars.

Apretty Polish maiden at Nanti-
coke, Penn, played havoc with the
hearts OF several young men, among
whom were drug clerk and q miner.
Both worked actively to secure her
hand and tried to Guido each other
in making her presents. After while
she tired of both OF them and became
engaged to another young Pole.
When Michael Anton, one OF the old
lovers, heard OF the engagement, he
became enraged and sued for the
recovery Of his presents or their
equivalent. His bill of particulars
was as follows: Dress goods for well
ding dress, $16; wrap to get married
in, $11;sto clergy man, So; three tick
cts to. Wilkesbarre, 81; marriage Ii
cense. fifty cents; refreshments while

fections, loss Of time. etc, ~ 90. This
last item, however, being objected to,
was stricken from the bill. At first
the successful lover refused 70 pay the
bill, but on the girl declaring that she
would not marry Q man who was nm

A Strange Welded Life.

Rose Eytinge, one of the most.mar.
ried members Of the theatrical profes-
sion, is single woman again, by the
death Of her husband, Cyril Searle..
He died of consumption at Savannah,
Ga. A strange welded life that woman
has had. Her first husband was q
man of the name OF Barnes, by whom
she had a laughter, Courtney Barnes,
who a few years: ago married John e.
Raymond, after that actor had been
divorced. Then Miss Eytinge mar
ried the erratic nephew of Gen. Butler,
George III. Butler, who was a disgrace-
full United States consul in Egypt and
afterward drank himself to death.
After marrying Butler, Rose Withdrew
from the stage for q time and accom-
panied her hus band to Egypt. Diyorc-
cd from, him, she returned to DRAMATIC
life and subseq uently married Searle,
who for some time had acted - his
vile $ manager. zs

Electrical Phenomena.

A writer on electrical phenomena
says:
At one time ii was very hard indeed
for me to believe that any person liv.
ing possessed such power as being
able to shuttle across the carpet of a
room and light the gas, as it issued
from the burner, by simply touching
it with the tip OF the finger I have,
however, two friends who seem to be
capable OF performing this feat at all
times and under any circumstances.
eNow find similar phenomena exhib-
tied to very high degree in my own
person at Fort Wingate, N. NJ. This
point is over c, 700 feet above sea lev
Ell; the only water in the neighborhood
is a. small pond-a puddle really-and
a few Insignificant springs. The
air is usually clear and highly fare
fed; indeed, all the conditions seem
to be favorable to the exhibition Of
electrical appearances. The other
day, while pacing my room, passing,
as did SO each time, over g. large
WOODEN Navajo blanket that lay
spread out on the floor, a circum-
stance arose which called upon me to
touch the cast-iron urn that orna-
1nented the top OF a small wood stove
in the apart ment, and which had g.
fire in it. Before the tip of my index
finger touched it, by distance of fully
centimetre, there was displayed in the
intervening space a brilliant electric
flash, accompanied by a report that
could be distinctly heard in the ad-
Joining room above ordinary CONVEX
sation. The experiment was repeated
three or four times, but the display
became more and more feeble with
each trial. It regained its original
force, however, after paced across
the blanket on the floor, a few times.

Partisan wardrobe. "And there it laid,

Black Dinah was the sole survivor Of

THE BETTER CT. ASSES.
What the Thisves' Organ Confesses about
lis Own Crowd. ~

Chicago Doodle Times, April 4.
Foreman Burley's report concerning the
work OF the special grand Jury discharged
Saturday evening is a model in its way.
II il brief but pithy. 1t does not discuss
the evidence produced, nor does 1t refer
70 any specific features OF the investiga-
ton. II summarizes the result in few
lines. "The grand jury" i says, has been
surprised and astonished at the widespread
demoralization that 1t has discovered IN
MI county affairs, the want of system, and
the almost total lack of honesty The
indictments already returned, the basket
full of indictments placed before the judge
by Mr.. Burley Saturday evening are start
ling but convincing proof OF this sweep
ing charge. That there was an almost TO-
tai lack of honesty appears from the TACT
that Of the fifteen members who constitut-
ed the county board last year twelve nave
been indicted, some of them on as many
as dozen charges, and that nearly every
contractor who did business with the
county and nearly all the leading officials
are in the same predirament. Seven
members of the present board have also
been indicted. No wonder there has been
widespread generalization"

Ten Per Cen, At Te,.. Greek.

Tor the ENQUIRER.
PuynLo, April las emplog gment agents
are sending men from here to work in
Strengthening out the track Of the Denver
& Rio Grande in the Grand Canon of the
Arkansas, note as TO how mon are treated
there may interest ENQUIRER readers.
They are landed mt Echo some miles this
side of Texas creek and have TO pack their
on their backs to the camps.
The work being Of that rough and entirely
laborious character which is the ordinary
Of the laborer on railroad
grades, few'stay there more than n few
weeks, as only man in destitute CON
dtion would think Of subjecting himself
to the hardships Of such n life. As soon
as the men desire TO leave the camps to
search for work of less brptalizing ten
dency, they are informed that they are not
paid in cash but in time-cheeks which are
not due till a month after the money is
earned, and which the contractor refuses
to discount-probably because the interest
he will get on the money for a month or
more is just as profitable. AS, however,
the men must have money, an individual,
said to be the agent of a Canon City bank,
has established himself at Texas creek,
who discounts these checks for 10 per
cent, thus reducing the mems wages from
81 to $3.50 per day. What is more, If a
man, after paying for board, tobacco etc.
has less coming to him, than S2he has to
take II in comissary.
i As this is the system followed in most of
the Colorado grading camps advertising
for men now, these facts mhy be useful to
readers of the ENQUIRER.

From the Chicago Enquirer, ,Jr.
1t is proposed to unite the republican
and democratic parties in name as well a
in fact, to make them strong enough Il
cope with the United Labor party, and tn
following platform has been suggested TO
the consolidated servants of class priv
lege and corruption:
Give us beefsteak when we're hungry,
Give us whiskey when we're dry;
Glvens gold when we're busted,
Give us heaven when we die.
Give us railrogues rich in plunder,
Give us voters who never think;
4 Give us rockets for campaign thunder,
Give us scandals 10 make stink.
Give us banks with bursting Golfers,
Give us treasury running DER;
Give us thieves and thugs and scofiers,
Give us millIonaires and swag galore.
Give us land grants, give us charters,
Give us high protection, too;
Give us trades, give us barriers,
Give us no hard work TO do.

8 .. r. be invited to draw mp declsra'
tion Of principles TO which those Who seel
admissipn to the federation, either:.a or.
carnations or individuals. \ win bs sx.
psoted 70 subscribe. We suggest that
such declaration Of principles deal d
shortly, but as clearly as possible, With
both tho economic and the political sides
Of Socialism, but that it leave untouched
the question Of how the aims Of Socialism
are to % realized, this being not ques-
tion Of principle, but Of tactics, which II
win bd the business Of the fedora
lion whom formed to discuss, and If possi-
ble settle to the satisfaction Of all its
members.
In conclusion We beg to say that We are
fully alive to the danger of concentrating
power IN the hands Of any individual or
group pf individuals; and We recognize
that our suggestions that the initiative In
this matter be placed in the hands Of the
editor Of the Denver LABoR ENQu1RHR may
well alarm those who, like ourselves, dread
anything approaching to one-nan power.
We consider however that shal danger M
this caie is more imaginary than real,
since the organizers Of the correspondence
and propaganda committees, and the
committees themselves when formed, will
have the management of affairs within their
respective territories -an essentially de-
csntralizing arrangement. We are con-
vinced moreover from experience that, if
the choice of organizers is entrusted to a
numerous committee, infinite delay, which,
is always fatal to every movement, will re-
suit; whereas, should the duty Of select
ing the original organizers be entrusted,
as We suggest, to one man who is thor
0ughly conversant with the labor move
ment, matters may be put in trim with
the delay of scarcely a week. We suggest
that the foregoing proposition, if consci-
entiou ply and promptly acted on, would be
sufficient to set this movement fairly onI
its feet, and that after the. committed
have been formed, and have done sufi cient
work TO enable them to arrive at an ap-
prOxiihate estimate of the Socialist
strength and feeling in the various states
and to territories, it might be possible to
hold one or more conventions, with some
hope Of arriving at substantial results. !!
We ar believers in the power of earnest,
self-sa acri6cing minorities, and we trust
that shch minority will be found to un-
dertal e this task, and to pursue it with
unain ching perseverance. We win en-
deavof to do our full share.
